Cactus THIEMANN

This guide to Cactus Thiemann in Marrakesh follows Hans Thiemann, a German engineer who carried a suitcase of cactus cuttings home from years traveling the Americas and began planting them on dry scrubland outside the city in 1964. You'll hear how the collection grew into one of the largest in Africa, arranged in disciplined rows rather than a wild tangle, with columnar giants now topping eight meters. Look for the camels that graze calmly between the rows, unbothered by the thorns.
